Possible road rage shooting reported; suspect detained

A suspect was in detained Thursday night after a man called 911 to report shots fired at his car while traveling on Aurora Avenue North, Seattle police said.

Road rage apparently triggered the incident, though police could not initially find a gun or property damage. No injuries were reported and there was later speculation that the shooting report was bogus.

The 911 call drew a heavy police response of nearly two dozen patrol units to an area east of Green Lake, according to our neighborhood partner, MyGreenLake.com. Witnesses at Zoeyogurt on East Green Lake Way North said police told customers to move against a wall while an officer crouched in a doorway, gun drawn.

The suspect was detained a short time later near Northeast 65th Street and Northeast Ravenna Boulevard, one-third of a mile from the yogurt shop. His name and additional details were not immediately released.
